Unit 2 reactor vessel head has been installed and tensioning of head bolts is in progress.

Unit 3 is in cold shutdown per the March 31, 1987, NRC Order with coolant temperature at approximately 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.0 Facility Operations Summary Unit 2 has been in a refueling outage since March 13, 1987. Unit 3 has been in a cold shutdown condition per the March 31, 1987, NRC Order since l April 1, 1987.

3.0 Items of Special Interest Peach Bottom Recovery Plan An outline of the Philadelphia Electric Company Recovery Plan was  ;

received by the Regional Administrator on July 22, 1987. The complete plan entitled the "Committment to Excellence Action Plan,"

is expected to be available in early August, 1987.

_ Civil Penalty Proposed for Fire Protection Violations On July 29, 1987, a notice of violation and proposed imposition of civ!1 penalty was issued. The 550,000 civil penalty was proposed due to violations of the requirements to provide a means for maintaining one redundant train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions free of fire damage when located in the same fire area outside of primary containment. Although there were multiple violations which were not identified by the licensee until prompted by the NRC to rereview the area, no adjustment to the base civil penalty was made since the violations were subsequently l identified by the licensee and prompt and extensive corrective actions i are being taken.

Licensing Issues Meeting i A meeting between the licensee and members of the NRC staff was held on July 30, 1987 to discuss routine licensing issues in the plant systems area, including containment leakage testing and the fire  ;

protection program. j OFFICIAL RECORD COPY 630 LINVILLE 7/30/87 - 0003.0.0 i 08/03/87 j
